Speaker identification for personalized smart TVs

2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW), 2016
Personalized service is an important feature for smart TVs. To facilitate personalized services, identifying the user is a necessity. This study investigates how to identify a smart TV user from his/her voice, that is, speaker identification (SID). Recognizing the fact that when a user issues a voice command to a smart TV, the signal received by the ...

Smart Speaker: Suspicious Event Detection with Reverse Mode Speakers

2019 42nd International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP), 2019
Loudspeakers are transducers that convert electrical signals to sounds. However, it is well-known that in reverse mode, they can convert sounds to electrical signals. The paper studies the feasibility of designing an embedded system that detects suspicious events like gunshots or screaming by utilizing the reverse mode of loudspeakers.
